The BEST Hip Opener

  • Опубликовано: 28 апр 2020
  • Are your stiff hips limiting you from squatting or deadlifting with great technique? The half kneeling weight shift is one of my favorite hip openers for improving hip mobility. Try a set of 10 reps for a 5" hold and then re-test your squat or deadlift and see if this is right for you!

      my question is: when i squat my knees travel alot forward (i have alot of dorsiflexion, srsly i have alot) and i only feel my quats mainly when squatting, i do ATG squats in flat shoes only because i don't find any help from the posterior chain while squatting so stopping after paralel feels so hard on the quads and nothing on the glutes, how can i aproach this issue? i have clearly anterior pelvic tilt from sitting all day but im working on fixing it everyday

      Is there a chance that Hip stiffness and pain in the pelvic area while deep squatting is because of lack of internal rotation?

    I had terrible lower back pain, something I have never had an issue with. After a couple days I was able to determine the source was from both hips, directly below the hip bones. I assume the hip flexors. I tried every type of stretch imaginable, Hip Airplane, The weight shift as shown, etc. It took three weeks and all of a sudden the pain, stiffness and discomfort disappeared overnight. Its not prevented me from squatting, but tonight it felt much more smooth and fluid. Do you recommend anything I can do as a preventive? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in your videos.

    I’ve tried multiple stretches, Physio, hip openers etc due to years of knee, hip and back pain. My left leg has always felt stronger and more balanced than my right leg. This affects me when I walk, squat, drive etc. After trying this stretch properly for the first time, I had an instant improvement!! It felt like I all of a sudden had access to parts/muscles of my right leg that I didn’t use to. I felt a lot more balanced standing on both feet, and walking felt great! An absolute revelation!!

Do this before a workout, it gives you easier range of motion and lets you go deeper into squats, hold it for 10 seconds, about 3 times per leg. I do it any day im going to be squatting. Hope that helps anyone from the future looking through here
